\n
1. We know we are a protagonist of sorts.<\/li>\n
2. We know we tell our own\u00a0stories.<\/li>\n
3. We know we inhabit our\u00a0own contexts.<\/li>\n
4. We know that even when our narration is a mess, if we’re telling it from our heart, it’s a good story.<\/li>\n
5. We know stories are our way of touching others.<\/li>\n
6. We know stories are our way of holding others hostage.<\/li>\n
7. We know stories are our way of building histories and backstories and futures and dreams.<\/li>\n
8. We know we can get desperately lost in stories.<\/li>\n
9. We know words are the tip of the iceberg.<\/li>\n
10. We know fear and desire are black-belt character motivators.<\/li>\n
11. We know actions say more than words because\u00a0‘show’ always overrides\u00a0‘tell’.<\/li>\n
12. We know a story loves seduction.<\/li>\n
13. We know a story fears the sickness of isolation.<\/li>\n
14. We know love is the bomb.<\/li>\n
15. We know there is no story without conflict.<\/li>\n
16. We know conflict can occur between people.<\/li>\n
17. We know conflict can occur between us and the forces of the universe.<\/li>\n
18. We know conflict can occur inside our selves.<\/li>\n
19. We know conflict can lead to all kinds of drama.<\/li>\n
20. We know drama lacks\u00a0intent.<\/li>\n
21. We know love doesn’t seek drama.<\/li>\n
22. We know that in a state of drama there can be no growth.<\/li>\n
23. We know there is no story if there is no change.<\/li>\n
24. We know the surprise of a plot twist.<\/li>\n
25. We know that the power of delivery is in the timing.<\/li>\n
26. We know the power of timing is in the beat.<\/li>\n
27. We know a beat is a rhythm … and a beat is a moment.<\/li>\n
28. We know there’s a beat between\u00a0every action.<\/li>\n
29. We know that when there’s a beat,\u00a0the protagonist\u00a0must choose.<\/li>\n
30. We know stories propel choices.<\/li>\n
31. We know choices propel the story.<\/li>\n
32. We know stories can get tired and frayed, and tangled and toxic.<\/li>\n
33. We know stories … can be interrupted.<\/li>\n
34. We know the story is born\u00a0in the beat.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
